The Development Going On in Our
Unsatisfactory Showing in
Mineral Prospects in This Camp.
THE BUNKER.

The east drift at the Bunker, which is
leased by Jim Irwin & Co., is in a distance
of thirty-fve feet. At the distance OF
thirty feet, right under the gulch, they met
with a break off in the ledge, but running
through it again discovered the ledge, and
found a much richer body Of free milling
ore. From recent returns from the Clipper
Mill it was found to run Is ounces silver
and $11 gold. The mill is under the super
intendency of John Keith and the mine is
managed entirely by James Irwin, a thor
ough and competent miner.
THE BIG oNANz
From an average lot OF ore shipped to
the Margaret Ann mill from the Big b.
nanza mine returns were made to Robinson
& Go. of 50 ounces silver and SIS gold.
This is quite a surprise to the owners as it
was considered a poor quality of ore and
not expected to go anywhere near that
figure. Arrangements are being made for a
new hoist from Frazer & Chalmers, OF
Chicago. but pending the arrival OF the new
machinery work will be pushed by the
present mode of hosting.
THE KEssLER
lode, which is situated west of and adjoins
the Excelsior, is being sunk with a whim,
and is now down one hundred and fifty
feet. At the bottom now reached a ledge
has been encountered that assays IS per
cent manganese, SO ounces silver and $40
gold.
THE TRIFLE.
The west drift is being run on the one
hundred foot level. A chute OF ore has
been run into the past week which is two
feet in thickness and assays $50 ounces
silver. 1t can safely be said now that this
is one of the most promising prospects in
the neighborhood and the ore body is there
to show for itself. Before the strike was
made, Mr.. Booth, one of the ~lessees. sold
out to his partners for 5000. He is some
what Respondent o over his bargain.
The old hoist at present on the COlusa
Parrot will be erected on the Tri1e in a
short while.
NOTES.
The Hope Company is shipping some
very fine ore to the Butte SampIing Works
for reduction, which as good as ever left the
mine.
The Old Lexington has resumed opera
tiOns.
Sinking will commence at the Bunker
Hill. which adjoins the Trife, the recent
developments in the latter mine giving rise
to high expectations in the former.
Messrs. Keith and Irwin of the Bunker
have leased the Granger at Centrevilie. At
present it's output averages 25 ounces sill
yer and Sc gold. This mine and the Bunk
er keep the Clipper stamps at york.
Hosting works are going to be erected
on the Baum.
The new shaft which was sunk west OF
the Anaconda on account of the insecurity
of the ground is called the Never Sweat.

to cultivate q closer relation than has even
characterized the past with the citizens Of
Butte on the basis Of the argument ad-
vanced in the foregoing statement. Nothing
would so much tend to cement this CO.
operative spirit as a short line railway
between the two cities. Such a railway
would also develop the magificent mineral
resources lying between the two cities,
notably Red Bluff and Cherry Creek, which
are already productive and only need
direct railway communication to make
these camps produce their full share OF the
precious metals and make Montana first,
as she is now the second, mineral producer
OF the United States.
*x*
To this end, therefore, we wonld urge
every citizen of Butte and OF Bozeman to
bend his energies. By acting all together
we can accomplish our objects. And We
trust that ou1 respective Boards OF Trade
will communicate with each other and car
nv out this contamination most devoutly
be wished. Immediate action is desira-
BILE, as both cities are to-day suffering from
the lack of more direct communication.
There is ample capital and credit in these
two cities to carry out this projects and
make it quite as comprehensive as contem-
plated. Direct connection may easily be
made with the coming lines OF the North
western system, and the natural resources
Immediately tributary thereto made to pay
for construction.
With a close alliance between the citi-
cent OF Butte and Bozeman there is no
reason why they should not succeed in this
shortline railway enterprise independently
OF all other lines, and mutually share the
profits that can but. arise from such recip-
rocal relations as the contamination Of it
would ensure to both. Nothing need be
hoped from any other enterprise OF like
character, and the sooner the capitalists
OF the two cities contemplate the PROPOSE
ton in this light the better for them and
for their tributary trade territory. When
the projected shortline shall have been
built the tr"anscontinental lines now here
and those that are to follow will seek an ALI
ance and then the two cities will be in a po-
sition to dictate terms instead of sitting
supinely by and awaiting the DEGREES of the
dictator.
~
Therefore, we would urge promt and de-
cisive action in the full faith that good re.
suits can but flow therefrom. To this end
We would urge that an understanding
should be arrived at, without any delay.
There is not so important a matter as this
now for the consideration of either OF the
cities SO vitality concerned as this. We feel
that we know the temper of the two cities
enough to predict that no delay will be ex-
perienced in reaching the results much
desired. |
